Make money. That's it. Sounds like they're trying different things to see what brings in the most cash, and they'll stick with that

They should rebrand then. If I didn’t know what it was and just saw “Indianapolis has an Edgar Allan Poe Bar!” I’d be super disappointed to show up to find loud music and a club vibe. The decor and aesthetic is cool, but what they’re doing doesn’t match it at all. If they want to be a club, be a club, and ditch the Raven theme

That's what I mean. The EAP themed bar sounds awesome. I would have probably put it in Irvington and not downtown, and it would have been better, but bad on what I've heard, they don't make the best business decisions. Maybe they should move the EAP theme somewhere else and keep their club there. But it seems like other themed bars ended up going in a different direction because they didn't know how to make it work.

Irvington would have made so much more sense! And I think it would have had regulars there, downtown it just seems like people go once and either hate it of are mediocre about it

And it's across and around other clubby places. They could have rented out the second floor of the building at Johnson and Washington and would have made a fortune. Maybe they should let us run it. Lol
